Salem Chapel BME Church: Uncovering Black Wellness, Spiritual Healing & Community

In this powerful episode of The Melanin Wellness Podcast, we dive into the rich history of Salem Chapel BME Church in St. Catharines, Ontario—a sacred space that served as a refuge for freedom seekers on the Underground Railroad. But this church was more than just a stop on the path to freedom—it was a hub for Black wellness, spiritual healing, and community resilience. Join me as we uncover the ways faith, herbal medicine, and collective strength sustained Black people escaping oppression.
